Pick N Mix – 13 October 2009
- A guest post on Shapely Prose addresses a very real issue that both women and men need to talk about. A woman cannot afford to let her guard down around men she doen’t know, ever, and especially in secluded or confined areas. Every guy she meets is Schrödinger’s Rapist. This is a post that every male should read – a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced.
Includes great pointers on how to read the mostly obvious signals women send.
A reversal of the roles usually assigned in rape scenarios really makes you think. Instead of thinking of rape as something that will happen to one in six women, how about realising rape is something that likely one in 60 men will commit. That means there are probably a few rapists in your area and maybe even in your circle of friends. (I don’t mean to scare monger, but it’s a very real and scary issue) - Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About is a very strange site (and an ugly one too). The writing is quite entertaining but it’s about a German woman that sounds insane and a British man that sounds like an asshole and I can’t figure out why they’re together if they hate each other so much. Utterly fascinating.
- Pretty.
- What a gorgeous concept for a watch.
- Wow. Watching the Worldometer numbers tick (or speed!) by is pretty mind blowing.
- Lardee and ickle attempt to make cupcakes!
- “Excuse me, do you have a good, dry sack?”
- Top ten defences that aren’t actually defences when it comes to rape. This post is specific to Roman Polanski but I can think of far too many other cases where statements like “It wasn’t rape-rape” is used.
- So fucking future! WANT.
- Another amazing craftster tutorial. Make amazing gift bows out of magazines and some brads. Awesome!
- Punks not dead.
- Maegan documents another beautiful DIY. This time it’s jewellery.

I loved the bow DIY!!! seems pretty easy even for myself, and I’m HIGHLY clumsy ú.ù
I love Tuesdays, specially when my teachers have decided not to show up today so… :D aaaah.. feels good!
About my cupcake-issue… :( sad. I loooove icing, well, I’ve never tried it, but it looks like I’m gonna love it. There’s a “gourmet” shop nearby and I spent several minutes in front of the frosting and icing boxes, they’re sooo cute!!!!

I agree with Aurora – the bows made from magazines and pins are truly amazing! I am going to make some this weekend for upcoming birthdays and christmas gifts. A friend in high school used to send me letters when I moved interstate for a year and she would make envelopes from magazine pages. I still have them and they are so special and unique; far better than the average envelope.
